Weybridge Academy: The Complete Series

They rolled over me and pushed down on me, leaving me disorientated and struggling for breath. I rubbed a stray tear from my cheek as I looked out at the frozen pond. My heart couldn’t take this. It was all too much. Noah’s confession was going to break me all over again. As the surge of emotion washed over me, I somehow managed to stand my ground, take a breath and respond. “It’s too late,” I said. “I understand why you did what you did, but it doesn’t change anything. I’ve moved on, and you should too.” He looked like he wanted to argue, but I cut him off before he got a chance. “I want you to take me back to school,” I said, looking out at the lake once more. “And then I want you to forget about me. Forget about us.” “I’ll take you back to school if that’s what you want.” “Thank you.” I released a breath, relieved he wasn’t going to argue with me. I went to walk back to the car, but Noah continued before I could take a step. “But forget about you?” he said. “That’s impossible.”
